“an amazing experience. value for money,great food,beautiful island, stunning snorkeling spots”
Cruise from Hurghada to Paradise Island with guides such as Pepsi, Oscar, and Gamal. Choose a relaxed seven-hour yacht trip or a three-hour speedboat outing, then snorkel coral reefs, enjoy an oriental buffet, and rest on sandy beaches. Hotel pickup is available from major Red Sea resorts.
“absolutely perfect day. the day was well organised with punctual pickup. the day was literally paradise. I would highly recommend this island as not too busy or overcrowded like the others. some people from our group went to other islands and said it was very busy. the food was really good and none of us had a bad belly from it. the snorkelling was very well done. staff worked hard all day. not too long of a day. I'd advise to take some snacks and some cash for tips. you have the option to buy photos too. the staff are really hard working and want you to enjoy every minute.…”

“Wir haben einen unvergesslichen Bootstrip zur Orange Bay und weiteren Inseln erlebt. Besonders beeindruckend waren die drei Schnorchelausflüge, bei denen wir wunderschöne Korallenriffe und zahlreiche bunte Fische sehen konnten – sogar Delfine durften wir beobachten! Die Guides waren sehr freundlich, humorvoll und stets um unser Wohl bemüht. Die Organisation an Bord war top und mit viel Herz gemacht. Absolut empfehlenswert! Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Die Kommunikation am Vorabend könnte klarer sein, insbesondere bezüglich des Treffpunkts. Ursprünglich sollten wir an der Hauptstraße abgeholt werden, was etwas unpraktisch war. Nach Rücksprache wurden wir dann aber pünktlich direkt an der Hotellobby abgeholt – vielen Dank dafür!Read more”
Spend five hours on a luxury yacht from Palm Royal Hotel marina, with snorkeling stops, floating beds, water toys, drinks, towels, and a chef-prepared lunch. Guides such as Shero and Mano help first-time swimmers feel safe, while the crew handles the details.
“We had the most amazing trip, the staff were lovely and so attentive. The snorkelling was like nothing I’ve ever experienced… just amazing. The boat itself, just absolutely out of this world! They thought everything through, to the food which was fabulous and couldn’t have asked for more. If there’s anyone you go on a day trip with, choose chill tours! The snorkelling guide was fantastic also, we got some amazing videos taken from him”

“Super Team auf dem Schiff. Sehr lieb zu Kindern. Mann wurde immer gut intigriert. Traumhafter Schiff alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Leider hat der Rücktransfer zum Hotel nicht so gut geklappt. Wir standen 2 min da bis jemand ao freundlichen war und uns gehilfen hat nach 1 stunde warten müssen dann ging es zurück ins Hotel.

“Het was mega leuk! Je gaat 2 keer snorkelen op verschillende plekken je gids gaat me en zorgt ervoor dat groep bij elkaar blijft in het water! Daarna ga je na het eiland toen en blijf je daar zo’n 2 uurtjes en krijg je lunch en drinken en kan je foto’s laten maken. Op de boot krijg je drinken zonder kosten. Het was de beste activiteit van de vakantie het is zeker je geld waard!🥰”
Pick a temple, a reef or a dune.
